How do I protect myself from deed theft when I list a vacant or inherited Marietta house?

Protecting a vacant or inherited Marietta house from deed theft starts with monitoring county deed records through the GSCCCA, since many counties offer a free alert service when a document gets recorded against your property. Joel Boss also recommends keeping the home occupied or regularly checked and using a Georgia closing attorney who verifies title carefully before any transfer. Acting quickly if you spot unfamiliar activity limits the damage significantly.
